Ana Bakhtiari's Company Details
The International Trachoma Initiative (ITI) was founded in 1998 in response to the World Health Organization's (WHO) call to eliminate blinding trachoma by 2020 (GET2020). ITI's founding partners, Pfizer and the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, saw the need for an international nongovernmental organization dedicated solely to the elimination of blinding trachoma. To achieve that goal, ITI collaborates with governmental and nongovernmental agencies at the local, national and international levels to implement the WHO-recommended SAFE strategy for trachoma control (Surgery; Antibiotics—using donated Zithromax®; Facial cleanliness; and Environmental improvement).
